WildFly 8.0.0.Alpha3 Release Notes

EJB invocations now use HTTP upgrade over port 8080
- This is a major step towards the port reduction initiative we have for WildFly 8
WildFly can now be ran as a Windows service
Mod_cluster functionality restored
Bean Validation 1.1 now supported with JAX-RS and CDI
Undertow subsystem and integration improvements
Bytecode enhanced entities now supported in JPA
Two phase persistence unit bootstrap improves JPA integration with CDI
User creation script also supports groups
Initial support for a syslog logging appender

OSGi support has been removed from WildFly and will be provided as an add-on by the JBoss OSGi project
Port reduction will eventually lead to us removing a few native ports in our default configurations in favor of the new HTTP upgrade approach which reuses WildFly's HTTP ports. This is likely to happen in the Beta time-frame. We will provide instructions on how to re-enable them when this change occurs.

64 issues were resolved since Alpha2, including a serious redeployment memory leak
